Travel Health Essentials

Travelling abroad? Here are a few travel essentials tips to help you stay safe and healthy.

Clothing

Pack the right clothes, depending on the destination of your vacation or business trip. Bring along winter clothing when you visit cooler climate
destinations to keep you from catching a cold. Here are a few ideas of
what to pack on your travels.

Food & Water Hygiene

Food poisoning can ruin a perfectly-planned trip. Take the necessary steps to prevent that from happening. Drink only boiled or bottled water and eat only
cooked food so you don't get an upset tummy. For more information, visit Food Safety Information Council.

A healthy blend of nuts, seeds and dried fruit provides plenty of energy for travellers! Dried cherries in a common trail mix can help reduce the effect of
jetlag while the other ingredients give you energy for your trip. If you're packing your own trail mix, try these recipes.

Medication

Make sure you bring along necessary medication. Bring along common medication for food poisoning and Paracetamol as a precaution. If you have prescription
medication, check the airline and airport regulations before packing your bag. For more details, visit CDC's Pack Smart page.
